RPI Zero W support

Hi, a relative newbie with Linux but now trying out my third RPI - a PI zero with integrated Wifi.

I had a bit of trouble getting Rasbian to work as the card appears completely dead until presented with a recent/current distro. With the right image I have the PI Zero W working fine with its integrated wifi and bluetooth driving a remote keyboad/track[pad. Rasplex, I couldn't get the Linux installer bin to run under my daily driver distro (Gallium OS) which I put down to my incompetence so I used a windows machine and downloaded the 32 bit installer for windows set for a Raspberry pi (not pi 2) since I understand the zero uses the PI 1 CPU etc.

My issue is that I have not been able to get RASPLEX to boot and I get stuck on the coloured flash screen when trying both 1.6.2 and 1.7.1 . Given the trouble I had needing a very recent release of Rasbian before it would boot I wondered if anyone else has a RPI zero W running 1.7.1 or is it just me having problems.
thanks,

I've also tried this and get exactly the same screen. I happen to also have an original pi zero so tried the sd card in there and it works perfectly. Hopefully support for the pi zero w will be built into a later release

@poiuytre111 and @jameseyre This is now working in OpenPHT 1.8.0.148. I'm running it now. Make sure you still use the regular rPi image as it's been altered to support rPi1, rPi0, and rPi0W.

When logs (server or client app) are requested for an investigation, please do NOT turn on "verbose" logging unless it is explicitly requested. Verbose logging makes things much more difficult in the majority of cases.
